UF and FloridaCommerce partner to establish Florida as national AgTech hub

The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and FloridaCommerce are collaborating to position Florida as the leading agricultural technology hub in the United States. The initiative aims to support the creation of food-focused tech businesses, attract outside companies to the state, and help Florida farmers and ranchers remain globally competitive. Proponents frame the effort as both an economic strategy and a national security priority, reducing the state’s reliance on food imports.
